Book ReviewThe Pursuit of God Let us say it again: The universal Presence is a fact. God is here. The whole universe is alive with His life. And He is no strange or foreign God, but the familiar Father of our Lord Jesus Christ whose love has for these thousands of years enfolded the sinful race of men. And always He is trying to get our attention, to reveal Himself to us, to communicate with us. We have within us the ability to know Him if we will but respond to His overtures. (And this we call pursuing God!) We will know Him in increasing degree as our receptivity becomes more perfect by faith and love and practice. This is a short book, but it packs a lot of excellent insight into it's 128 pages. Tozer calls us to pursue God on a personal level of knowing. We often forget that God is a person who desires to interact with us on an intimate level. Discovering this type of relationship with our Creator is what the human heart longs for more than anything else, but in order to discover it we must overcome many barriers of the heart and mind. The Pursuit of God exposes these barriers and helps to open our thinking to the reality of such a union. The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the church is famishing for want of His presence. The instant cure of most of our religious ills would be to enter the Presence in spiritual experience, to become suddenly aware that we are in God and that God is in us. This would burn away the impurities from our lives... Order this Book Now All content on gel |
